R kissed a neighbor girl she had just met and i buy coffee beans from her parents. yikes. i told her, we don't kiss people we don't know! girlfriend has never met a stranger! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-kiss-your-lo-on-the-lips-4/page/2#post-2528254 Mon, 18 Apr 2016 22:49:36 +0000 coopsmama 2528254@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes yes yes. I love it. It's totally different from a romantic kiss to me - it's just eating up their sweet babyhood and toddlerhood. I probably won't once they hit later preschool if it starts to bother them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-kiss-your-lo-on-the-lips-4/page/2#post-2528246 Mon, 18 Apr 2016 22:18:20 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 2528246@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! For as long as they'll let me.</p> <p>My kids are very affectionate and they will try to go in for lip kisses with other people sometimes. We are trying to tell them that they're for close family only. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-kiss-your-lo-on-the-lips-4/page/2#post-2528241 Mon, 18 Apr 2016 22:01:37 +0000 Torchwood 2528241@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've been continuing to think about this (who knows why?), and I realized my initial answer wasn't accurate. I kiss around her mouth, particularly between her lips and nose, but I don't kiss her straight on the lips. DH doesn't either. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-kiss-your-lo-on-the-lips-4/page/2#post-2528235 Mon, 18 Apr 2016 21:49:53 +0000 californiadreams 2528235@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes all the time. I'm guessing it won't last forever though since I don't recall kissing my mom on the lips except at an early age and never my dad! My son is only 3.5 now </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-kiss-your-lo-on-the-lips-4/page/2#post-2528202 Mon, 18 Apr 2016 20:52:36 +0000 caterw 2528202@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Um YES! I kiss my 2.5 year old daughter as much as she will let me hahahaha. She sometimes does this really cute thing where she will say "Extra kisses" and start making the kissing noise over and over until I come kiss her. I will do this until she makes me stop. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-kiss-your-lo-on-the-lips-4/page/2#post-2528135 Mon, 18 Apr 2016 19:41:14 +0000 Mae 2528135@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. I don't come from lip-kissing folks and it doesn't come naturally to me to do that with her. I've always kissed her on the forehead and cheeks. When I ask her "can I have a kiss?" she leans her forehead in and it's so cute! The funny thing is, when I ask her to kiss one of her animals she kisses them on the forehead haha. It's like she thinks whoever is bigger is the forehead kisser and whoever is smaller is the kissee? lol I've never gotten her to actually give me a kiss because she just thinks she is supposed to head-butt my lips with her forehead :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-kiss-your-lo-on-the-lips-4/page/2#post-2528130 Mon, 18 Apr 2016 19:38:17 +0000 lemondrop 2528130@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So many cultural variations to consider, but @regberadaisy: that makes my heart hurt that you wanted it and didn't get it :heart: We do, and plan to let the boys take the lead on when they want to stop. Nothing sweeter than a big old kiss on the lips from them, even when we get the little boy wiping kisses off! They still very willingly pucker up though. My family is still very much this way, my husband's family isn't very affectionate, so I try to make up for it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-kiss-your-lo-on-the-lips-4/page/2#post-2528062 Mon, 18 Apr 2016 17:33:05 +0000 hellobeeboston 2528062@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used too. But then I kept getting sick and LO wanted to kiss everyone on the lips so I stopped. Once in a while I still do tho 💋 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-kiss-your-lo-on-the-lips-4/page/2#post-2528032 Mon, 18 Apr 2016 16:08:30 +0000 erinpye 2528032@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Absolutely! For as long as they'll allow. They've started offering their cheeks sometimes instead, and that's ok too. I grew up in a family that only kissed on the cheek, but I think it's sweet and I have loved my slobbery baby kisses! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-kiss-your-lo-on-the-lips-4/page/2#post-2528029 Mon, 18 Apr 2016 15:59:59 +0000 NavyRN2012 2528029@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Of course! My oldest prefers kisses on the cheek or forehead, so we oblige, but the littles get lip kisses. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-kiss-your-lo-on-the-lips-4/page/2#post-2528015 Mon, 18 Apr 2016 15:30:18 +0000 autumnlove 2528015@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-kiss-your-lo-on-the-lips-4/page/2#post-2528001 Mon, 18 Apr 2016 15:06:36 +0000 PurplePeony 2528001@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm from a family of lip kissers so I never thought of it as something I shouldn't do...but once DD was here, it just seemed not quite right. I'm also prone to cold sores and I'm trying really hard to avoid spreading that to her, so it just seems safest not to kiss on the lips. Turns out she's not much of a kisser anyway, so I'm lucky if I can even plant one on her cheek or forehead! She usually runs away. So I mostly get relegated to top-of-the-head kisses while we read books. 😥 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-kiss-your-lo-on-the-lips-4#post-2527997 Mon, 18 Apr 2016 15:02:12 +0000 snowjewelz 2527997@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: yeah, I feel like esp b/c we never did it as kids (just really minimal physical affection in general), I am soaking it all up now! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-kiss-your-lo-on-the-lips-4#post-2527992 Mon, 18 Apr 2016 14:51:50 +0000 Mrs. Toad 2527992@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, I still remember when my father stopped allowing kisses on the lips; I was upset for days. I won't allow that to happen to my son. Therefore, kisses may be elsewhere on the body. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-kiss-your-lo-on-the-lips-4#post-2527918 Mon, 18 Apr 2016 13:55:41 +0000 Autumnmama79 2527918@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@catomd00: from one lip kisser to another I'm curious why you think you probably shouldn't?! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-kiss-your-lo-on-the-lips-4#post-2527900 Mon, 18 Apr 2016 13:44:29 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 2527900@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, I love their little kisses! My mom still kisses me on the lips so it's not weird to me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-kiss-your-lo-on-the-lips-4#post-2527845 Mon, 18 Apr 2016 13:07:10 +0000 catomd00 2527845@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes we do. I know we probably shouldn't but I can't help it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-kiss-your-lo-on-the-lips-4#post-2527836 Mon, 18 Apr 2016 12:56:52 +0000 travellingbee 2527836@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He likes to so I let him unless someone is sick. Which is like all the time since they are in daycare. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-kiss-your-lo-on-the-lips-4#post-2527816 Mon, 18 Apr 2016 12:38:20 +0000 skipra 2527816@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't plan to but they both just go for the lips! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-kiss-your-lo-on-the-lips-4#post-2527798 Mon, 18 Apr 2016 12:31:19 +0000 sleepybear 2527798@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I planned on only doing cheek/forehead kisses but once LO started giving us kisses he always went for the lips. So now I try to get his cheeks but he normally turns for a lip kiss - I assume he'll grow out of it by the time he's 3 or 4 anyways, so it's not a big deal to me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-kiss-your-lo-on-the-lips-4#post-2527794 Mon, 18 Apr 2016 12:20:59 +0000 Autumnmama79 2527794@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Always! DD is seven and it's not weird for us. I just love showing affection to her - and to DH for that matter! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-kiss-your-lo-on-the-lips-4#post-2527793 Mon, 18 Apr 2016 12:20:20 +0000 ellewoods84 2527793@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! I love giving/receiving kisses on the lips from her. My husband does too. We will stop if she wants us to, but for now, kisses! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-kiss-your-lo-on-the-lips-4#post-2527790 Mon, 18 Apr 2016 12:18:53 +0000 chopsuey 2527790@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yep! kisses all day long &lt;3 and I plan on doing it until I die :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-kiss-your-lo-on-the-lips-4#post-2527788 Mon, 18 Apr 2016 12:16:50 +0000 jhd 2527788@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO often gives me a kiss on the lips, but sometimes on the cheek. I usually kiss his cheeks. DH only gives him kisses on the cheek. If any other family tried to give him lip kisses I would protest, because GERMS! ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-kiss-your-lo-on-the-lips-4#post-2527752 Mon, 18 Apr 2016 11:41:18 +0000 Mrs. Lion 2527752@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: oh gosh me too! We are super affectionate (hugs and kisses all day long!) </p> <p>@Ms. RV: noooooooooooo! :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-kiss-your-lo-on-the-lips-4#post-2527751 Mon, 18 Apr 2016 11:41:12 +0000 LAZB 2527751@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love her big slobbery mouth kisses! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-kiss-your-lo-on-the-lips-4#post-2527723 Mon, 18 Apr 2016 11:30:42 +0000 Torchwood 2527723@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, but not for too much longer. She's 9mo now. Kissing on the lips with older kids weirds me out. And kissing at all with adults does. I hate when my parents/grandparents kiss me, though I don't say so to spare their feelings. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-kiss-your-lo-on-the-lips-4#post-2527715 Mon, 18 Apr 2016 11:25:04 +0000 regberadaisy 2527715@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lion: I grew up in a traditional Chinese household, where affection of any kind was pretty nonexistent. I knew my parents loved me, but still yearned for the physical and verbal love, kWIM? Now that I have kids, I show them a ton of physical and verbal affection! I must kiss and hug them dozens upon dozens of times a day. I hope there doesn't come a day when they don't want the physical affection from us! :/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-kiss-your-lo-on-the-lips-4#post-2527700 Mon, 18 Apr 2016 11:03:11 +0000 FaithFertility 2527700@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Everyday!!!!!!!! </p>
